Moving Uncle Dustin to College!

Well it is that time.......Chris's baby brother is going off to college. So we decided to go up to Ankeny and help move him in to his dorm/apartment at college. Of course we wanted to check out his new pad where he was going to be living. We all decided to meet up at Chris's brother Andrew's house to wait until it was time to move Dustin in to his new place. This was really nice because Grace and Brayden was able to play while we waited. Also when the rest of us went to help move Dustin in the two kids stayed there at Brayden's house with Holly so they could play and have fun while we were moving stuff.






Peaking in on Dustin as he is getting signed in and all the paperwork done so he can get his keys to move in. This is Joe with Dustin who is also from Algona moving in to go to college at DMACC in Ankeny. They caught me taking their picture.

Starting to move all Dustin's stuff in.
Dustin the now College boy!

Look at all this stuff we have to carry in.

The living room.

The Kitchen
Dustin's dorm/apartment is very nice, my dorms were not this nice. This place had just been remodeled over the summer. I don't think this will be to hard to get use to.

Andrew and Denny holding down the couch, checking it all out.

Dustin unpacking his things.

Chris and Andrew helping put things together.

They look like they are having so much fun helping Dustin (actually they just figured out that they messed up and put it together backwards/upside down, oops lol!)

We love going to the zoo!

One of the things we enjoy is having a zoo close to home. Over the past several months we have made several trips to the zoo. Grace and I will go once in awhile on my day off to get out of the house which is always fun. But we always love going to the zoo with Family and Friends. So if anybody ask we are always ready to go. Here is some pictures from a few of our visits to the zoo with family and friends.


Grace with Papa Juhl

In the Desert Dome at the zoo.

Grace pointing things out to Papa Juhl and Cousin Bernie. I think she could be a good tour guide of the zoo for people since she has gone several times. Of course loves going every time.



Grace talking to Great Grandpa B. and Grandma Juhl.

We thought this animal was very interesting.

Grace and Grandma Juhl just taking a little break in the Aquarium. We love to go in there and see all the different fish and animals.

The Cat Complex is neat but it seems like most time we show up around nap time.
